Bondsman:

if he dies in prison, that's the breaks. He had his whole life living free without paying for his crime. Now it's time for him to pay the piper.

I don't necessarily disagree. I'm only saying, if that happened, then in the end his life would be overall seen as tragic. One really does have to ask how the little runt could REALLY come to deserve such ominous and powerful forces being focused on him so destructively over an entire lifetime....
